The Palio di Siena is a passionate horse race that takes place every year, in July and August, and its origins seem to date back to the seventeenth century. Siena according to legend was founded by Senio, son of Remus, and in the city there are several statues depicting the mythical Romulus and Remus suckled by the wolf.

Although it can boast a Roman origin, the current aspect of Assisi, both of the buildings and of the urban fabric, has certainly been determined by medieval development. The oldest part of the town is protected by a defensive system consisting of eight fortified access gates and a long city wall, still in excellent condition, which belongs to two castles: the Rocca Maggiore, rebuilt by Cardinal Albornotz in 1367 and the Rocca Minore. Assisi, in addition to the religious buildings of such great importance that it can not be considered its exclusive heritage, such as the Basilica of San Francesco, tourists can also visit the Basilica of Santa Chiara and the Church of San Pietro. The first was built in Gothic style between 1257 and 1265, the second one was slightly older, decorated with an elegant median portal and three rosettes. The Duomo, dedicated to the patron San Rufino, maintains a splendid façade with sculptures and reliefs; the interior, however, has undergone reconstruction over the centuries that have distorted the original structure of the thirteenth century. Distance: 72 Km (by car, about 1 hour, by train, about 1 and 20 minutes) Average visit time: 1 day ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport -
